Re: Running on 3 1/2
I filled the floor of the rear chamber with 30w and it didn't drain down that hole. I blew compressed air through it, ran copper wire through it, poured laquer thinner in it. Even tried an old inner speedometer cable. It was always clean on the end, no sludge. I must have been bumping the cam bearing or journal. When re-fitting the manifolds I did notice that the rear intake port Was oily and black with crusty deposits on it and the forward one was bright and clean. As far as the compression test I did it both ways, same results. Hoping to get to town today to get some seafoam.
